12/12/12: The last triple digit date we'll see.

[Betez 1,734]

That was Skyrim's release date.

Ahhh.

Eh, I gotta say that dates never really fascinated me, so the idea that we're not going to have any more triple sets like this one isn't going to bug me in the slightest. They're just numbers. And numbers are math.

 

Ugh, math.

It's also important to note that the numbers we use are relative to what base we use.

 

If we used something like the Dozenal system (Base-12) or Octal (Base-8), then the dates would be all different. What I'm saying is that the only reason we see these numbers as being special is because we use Base-10.

 

Plus, if I wanted to go for a different counting system, I'd definitely go for Dozenal.
